More from FillmoreA 47-year-old man was killed Tuesday afternoon in a solo motorcycle crash between Moorpark and Fillmore, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Robert Retzinger of Fillmore was riding north on Highway 23 near the top of the mountain between Moorpark and Fillmore when he crashed for an unknown reason about 3:50 p.m., said Officer Randy Pickens of the Moorpark CHP.
Just before the accident, motorists on the winding road saw Retzinger crossing over the double yellow lines and passing vehicles at a high speed, Pickens said. Seconds later, they saw him lying on the left shoulder next to his motorcycle.
Retzinger was taken to Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. He was pronounced dead at 4:53 p.m.
On Wednesday, CHP investigators were looking into the cause of the crash, Pickens said.
